Seventeen per cent, a moderate proportion, of the incest offenders vs. minors had had sexual contact with animals of other species. The age-specific incidence (ranging down from 12 to 3 per cent) is similarly moderate. One would have expected them to occupy a higher place in the rank-order since they are the second most rural of all our comparative groups, half of them having either been rural all their lives or having lived on farms between ages five and eighteen. Their background not only failed to engender much animal contact; it also had no discernible effect on their fantasies and dreams. Indeed, no incest offender vs. minors (or adults) reported such dreams.

On the other hand, these offenders are second only to the incest offenders vs. In comparison to the percentages found among other groups these figures are very large.
